WASHINGTON, (Reuters) – President Joe Biden will host a number of high-profile talks with foreign leaders as part of his visit to G20 in Rome.

The table is full of tricky issues, including France’s accusation that France betrayed Australia over a submarine deal and Turkey’s demands following a scrapped fighter jet agreement.

According to the White House, he will talk about supply chain problems, tax promises, and energy scarcity. Below are some meetings worth watching:

EMMANUEL MARCRON

Biden and the French president will be meeting in Rome on Friday to try to restore relations that were damaged after the U.S. stopped France from signing a submarine agreement.

According to the White House, they will keep in touch with each other regarding security cooperation in Africa (Europe) and Indo-Pacific.

POPE FRANCIS

Biden, the only Catholic U.S. President, meets with the Pope Friday amid increased criticism by American archbishops about his position on abortion. According to the White House, they will talk about climate change, immigration, and income inequality.

MARIO DRAGHI

Biden will be meeting with the Italian prime minister before the G20 talks Draghi hosts. They will talk about climate, health and current international crises.

TAYYIP EDOGAN

According to Turkish media, the topic of the meeting between Biden (the United States) and Turkey’s President in Glasgow will focus on a fighter jet program. Erdogan claims that the U.S. has suspended an F-16 deal with Turkey after it bought Russian missiles.

Although the White House confirmed that they would meet, it has not been officially announced. Biden will be heading to Glasgow, Oct. 31. Turkey threatened last week to expeil U.S. diplomats for criticizing the imprisonment of a philanthropist.

In the last five years, the decades-old alliance between NATO allies was roiled by disagreements over Syria policy, Ankara’s close ties to Moscow, NATO’s naval ambitions at the eastern Mediterranean, U.S. accusations against an Ankara-owned Turkish bank, and the erosion of rights in Turkey.
